I know these people believe what they’re saying but what they’re saying isn’t true. If you genuinely 100% truly believed that you were building a bomb that would blow you up you would stop making it. No amount of financial incentive can convince you to create something that you wholeheartedly believe will destroy you.
The various AI companies just use the threat of human extinction as an advertising gimmick and it’s getting pathetic. You cannot continuously announce that you’ve invented AGI every three months for several years straight and maintain any kind of credibility.

Utterly absurd claim.
It’s been proven wrong for decades, repeatedly. You can’t possibly be more wrong. This is as wrong as wrong gets.
Look at history of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons.

What particular event are you talking about. I know of no time that somebody created and weapon of mass destruction and then set it off with them standing right next to it.
I feel like you’ve probably missed my point, they say AI will destroy the entire human race which presumably they are part of, which means they are claiming to be creating the means for their own demise as well. No one would do that. Which means either they’re insane, which is possible but the most likely answer is that they are lying.
